In the narrow streets of the old village - HFF

In the narrow streets of the old village - HFF
Saint-Denis-d'Anjou is the prettiest village in south Mayenne. It has kept its medieval character, with its narrow streets, its 15th and 16th century winegrowers mansions, its market hall built in 1509 and even an old forge that is still in operation. Until the 18th century, almost 600 hectares of vines surrounded the city before it was gradually destroyed by the spread of phylloxera. In order to perpetuate this know-how, one hectare of vineyards was replanted at the end of the 20th century: "Clos de la Morinière", a Chenin Blanc, is the only wine that is produced in Mayenne.

DANS LES RUELLES DU VIEUX VILLAGE. Saint-Denis-d'Anjou, le plus beau village du sud de la Mayenne a conservé son caractère médiéval avec ses ruelles étroites, ses maisons de vignerons et seigneuriales des XVe et XVIe siècles, ses halles construits en 1509 et même une ancienne forge encore en activité. Au XVIIIe siècle il y avait toujours près de 600 hectares de vigne entourant la cité avant de s’éteindre progressivement suite à la propagation du phylloxéra. A la fin du XXe siècle pour perpétuer à nouveau ce savoir-faire, un hectare de vigne a été replanté : le "Clos de la Morinière", un chenin blanc, est le seul vin produit en Mayenne.

IN DEN GASSEN DES ALTEN DORFES. Saint-Denis-d'Anjou ist das schönste Dorf im Süden der Mayenne. Es hat seinen mittelalterlichen Charakter bewahrt, mit seinen engen Gassen, seinen Winzer- und Herrenhäusern aus dem 15. und 16. Jh., seinen 1509 erbauten Markthallen und sogar einer alten Schmiede, die noch in Betrieb ist. Noch im 18. Jh umgaben fast 600 Hektar Weinberge die Stadt, bevor sie durch die Ausbreitung der Reblaus allmählich zerstört wurden. Um dieses Know-how wieder zu erneuern wurde Ende des 20. Jh. ein Hektar Rebfläche neu bepflanzt: "Clos de la Morinière", ein Chenin Blanc, ist der einzige Wein, der in Mayenne produziert wird.
